A new study evaluated CMBAgent's performance in astrophysical workflows, revealing a significant failure mode where the AI produces plausible but incorrect results without self-diagnosis. In a "One-Shot" setting, domain context improved performance sixfold, yet silent incorrect computations remained prevalent. The research highlights the critical issue of AI agents confidently generating inaccurate scientific data, emphasizing the need for systematic reliability analysis. AI
